These maps were scanned into 400 dpi .tif and .pdf images. At this scale 1.0 cm on the map represents 1.0 km
on the ground. Each map covers an area of 0.50 degree longitude by 0.50 degree latitude. Generally these
maps are printed on 71 x 86cm (28" x 34") paper size. This product can be viewed on a computer, printed or
be plotted in part or in whole. To maintain the original map scale when printing the entire product, it must
be plotted on a plotter that can use paper that is a minimum width of 91.44cm (36"). These maps are not
available as geo-referenced images or GIS-ready data.
